Questions, answered
How long does it take to learn touch typing?
Most people build reliable muscle memory in two to four weeks of 15-minute daily sessions. The keydrills curriculum is about five hours of total typing time, spread across 70 short lessons.
Is keydrills really free?
Yes — every lesson, test, and practice mode, with no ads, no premium tier, and no account. It's a fast, honest tool, not a funnel.
Where is my progress saved?
In your browser's local storage, on your device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. You can export a backup file from Settings and import it on another machine.
What is a good typing speed?
The global average is around 40 WPM. 60–80 WPM is strong for professional work, and 100+ WPM puts you in the top few percent. Accuracy above 97% matters more than raw speed.
Should I look at the keyboard while learning?
No — that's the whole trick. Keep your eyes on the screen and let the on-screen keyboard guide show you where each key and finger goes. Looking down builds the habit you're trying to break.
